A small rider for my mare.
I've been looking for 3 years for a younger person to ride my mare. Problem is the type of kid I need for her, in general, want and need a pony that can do more. She's safe but very forward going and can be strong. She also doesn't take kindly to 'riding school/thelwell' riding...again she doesn't do anything just gets unhappy and stiff. She's rising 22 and can't jump very high anymore but I want to be able to get someone younger on so they can enjoy her and vica versa. I could do really with a small 13/14 yo who isn't fazed by her sillyness. I want nothing more than to see her jump in a pony class this summer. I just can't find anyone though. I don't want to advertise as you can get all sorts and I'd feel better if it was someone through word of mouth just so they're not total strangers.
